Reports calls to <code>equals()</code> that can be replaced by <code>==</code> or <code>!=</code> expressions without a change in semantics.
<p>These calls can be replaced when they are used to compare <code>final</code> classes that don't have their own <code>equals()</code> implementation but use the default <code>Object.equals()</code>.
This replacement may result in better performance.</p>
<p>There is a separate inspection for <code>equals()</code> calls on <code>enum</code> values: 'equals()' called on Enum value.</p>
